First we need to find the acceleration of the skier on the rough patch of snow.
We are only concerned with the horizontal direction, since the skier is moving in this direction, so we can neglect forces that do not act in this direction. So we have only one horizontal force acting on the skier: the frictional force,
. For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the skier must be equal to ma (mass per acceleration), so we can write:
Where the negative sign is due to the fact the friction is directed against the motion of the skier.
Simplifying and solving, we find the value of the acceleration:
Now we can use the following relationship to find the distance covered by the skier before stopping, S:
where
is the final speed of the skier and
is the initial speed. Substituting numbers, we find:
To answer, evaluate the power of 10 in the given choices. If it is positve, move the decimal n places to the right. If it is negative, move the decimal n corresponding places to the left. From all the choices given, only the choices D, E, and F will give us the correct answer.
Answer:
a) x = v₀² sin 2θ / g
b) t_total = 2 v₀ sin θ / g
c) x = 16.7 m
Explanation:
This is a projectile launching exercise, let's use trigonometry to find the components of the initial velocity
sin θ = 
/ vo
cos θ = v₀ₓ / vo
v_{oy} = v_{o} sin θ
v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ
v_{oy} = 13.5 sin 32 = 7.15 m / s
v₀ₓ = 13.5 cos 32 = 11.45 m / s
a) In the x axis there is no acceleration so the velocity is constant
v₀ₓ = x / t
x = v₀ₓ t
the time the ball is in the air is twice the time to reach the maximum height, where the vertical speed is zero
v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt
0 = v₀ sin θ - gt
t = v_{o} sin θ / g
we substitute
x = v₀ cos θ (2 v_{o} sin θ / g)
x = v₀² /g 2 cos θ sin θ
x = v₀² sin 2θ / g
at the point where the receiver receives the ball is at the same height, so this coincides with the range of the projectile launch,
b) The acceleration to which the ball is subjected is equal in the rise and fall, therefore it takes the same time for both parties, let's find the rise time
at the highest point the vertical speed is zero
v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt
v_{y} = 0
t = v_{oy} / g
t = v₀ sin θ / g
as the time to get on and off is the same the total time or flight time is
t_total = 2 t
t_total = 2 v₀ sin θ / g
c) we calculate
x = 13.5 2 sin (2 32) / 9.8
x = 16.7 m
Explanation:
Below is an attachment containing the solution.
Answer:
D. If a home were wired in series, every light and appliance would have to be turned on in order for any light or appliance to work.
Explanation:
In a series circuit, all the appliances are connected on the same branch of the circuit, one after the other. This means that the current flowing throught them is the same. However, this means also that if one of the appliance is turned off (so, its switch is open), that appliance breaks the circuit, so the current can no longer flow through the other appliances either.
On the contrary, when the appliances are connected in parallel, they are connected in different branches, so if one of them is switched off, the other branches continue working unaffacted by it.
